US already has the dresses since being left at the altar by DL/NW and UA/CO.
They keep catching the bouque, though.

So what exactly happens if he fails like his previous attempted mergers? Just asking.

nothing really US will keep on though maybe the wifi on the the lav truck or whatever it is you're driving will quit and you'll just go away
If I didn't work for either company I wouldn't care less what they did, you have shown you have some sort of hidden agenda when it comes to US. I don't really care what or why that agenda is but it pretty much renders your opinions useless

US Air plans antitrust filing to boost AMR bid
By Soyoung Kim and Nick Brown
NEW YORK (Reuters) - US Airways Group (LCC) aims to file paperwork with U.S. antitrust regulators as early as July for a proposed merger with AMR Corp (AAMRQ.PK), the bankrupt parent of American Airlines, according to people familiar with the matter.
US Airways believes securing regulatory approval for its proposed deal would remove one key element of uncertainty from the picture, bolstering its case as AMR's creditors compare the merits of a merger with the carrier's standalone restructuring plan, the people said.
US Airways first confirmed its interest in merging with AMR in January.
A regulatory filing in the near future - as opposed to after reaching a deal - also reflects the fifth-largest U.S. carrier's desire to merge with AMR while the No. 3 U.S. airline is still in bankruptcy.

Actually, I just like betting on a sure thing. I'll dump that lav truck at your front door. And how many naysayers have a hidden agenda? I'm at the end of that line that reaches India!

Thanks for the info but what happens if Horton and the BOD do not agree to this? Can US proceed without AMR's input?

If you mean, can US still pull off a merger/purchase/whatever without the ok of the AMR BOD, as I understand it, YES THEY CAN DO THAT (as the TWU boys like to say). As near as I can tell, once a company enters bk, the management and the BOD lose a certain amount of control over the company's future (no wonder our Theory X management resisted bk for so long 
). If the creditor's committee decides that a merger with LCC is the best deal for the creditors, I don't think the judge has a lot of say in approving/disapproving the merger offer. His job is to save the company (if possible) and provide the best solution for the creditors. A merger would obviously "save" the company for the time being, and if the creditors say so, provide the best solution for them.
